VW Touran ESP LIGHT ALWAYS ON | Brake Pressure Sensor Fault G201 01435

[@Flyingspann3r]

Well done, another helpful topic. I looked up the VW repair kit, 1K0 698 517 B with RRP of 299.50 GBP. You get the hydraulic section with pump. I looked into replacing G201 sensor which later sensor is LPKF 488360 but looks like you damage it when removing looking on forums so haven’t tried. Looks like you have the cheapest solution, anyone doing the same as you make sure you can take it back or swap it for another unit as they fail a lot and you could be fitting a faulty one from the scrap yard. Get it in writing before you spend out so you don’t get stuck with two faulty sensors. Turn steering wheel full left then right and drive 50-100 meters to reset steering Angle sensor whenever disconnecting battery, then reset one touch window function, hold switch down then let go and press down for 3 seconds, put window up, let go of switch and pull up on switch for 3 seconds to restore one touch winding up and down. Do this for each window. Make sure windows not iced up or kiddie blinds stuck to rear ones first though!!

[@Haydzx-tn3gy]

I recently bought my vw touran with the abs light on i have the same code for the brake pressure sensor, the guy I bought it from changed the abs pump but not the ecu part would this be why there’s still the same abs sensor fault

[@ivanatanasov990]

Hello. Great video. Do you know if it is possible to put a different module? My newly bought Audi A3 8P has a "1k0614117A" ABS module in it and it doesnt work. After a quick VIN check the system shows that the correct one for my car is "1K0907375P". My question is: how can I find out which ABS module is suitable for my car?

[@darkshadointruder9467]

Great video thanks. I changed my ABS module from my Touran 1T tdi 90 cv from 2005 by a standard exchange bought in a car case it is revised and guaranteed. I mount the module everything went well I did the pressure brake bleeding with the same device as yours. My concern is that I still have the brake pedal to soft. Do you know what is the best method to do the brake bleeding for a Touran? I thank you in advance.

[@CarsExposed]

The best method is scan tool abs brake bleeding procedure ... I would try bleeding the brakes again perhaps still some air in it 👍

[@justaswede3135]

Great video! Got the same fault! Problem is that I just spent 2 month in the hospital, and are not fit to work on my car! My traction light came on when I tried to start the car with a very low battery after coming home from the hospital! The ABS light do not light up, just the ESC light?! Can a bad/low battery, brake the pressure sensor?

[@chrisainsworth68]

Why hasn't VW done a recall on this hugely common fault?

[@CarsExposed]

I agree 👍

[@41jimmymac1]

Hi you bought a replacement unit Modulator but there are lots of them out there and they end in different numbers/letters, did you purchase the right one right year model code or any Modulator then split it !!! please advise as l am in the process of doing the same job l now have the sensor / Modulator off ready thanks.

[@MrHacsek11]

Hi! I swapped the hydraulic block of my ABS because I had a fault with the Pressure Sensor G201 as you. After the swap I had the communiciation error as you in the vid at 16:27. What was your solution? I have good pressure values until the "too many communication error" message.

[@CarsExposed]

The communication error was me hitting the scan tool cable with my knee ...

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? That was good trouble shooting and testing and the repair seems to have done the trick and saved the customer a great deal of money. Well done. Only concern is you ran a copper brake line. I replaced a brake line on an old '77 Chevelle I had once and it failed the Motor Vehicle Inspection because it had copper brake lines. Is that an issue in your area, or was that brake line approved copper tubing? Take 'er easy!!!

I’ve replaced the whole pump without switching parts I still have my abs light on do it need to be reprogrammed I still have the old original abs pump here

[@wackey3455]

I have the same car abs light on traction light on and steering angle sensor. I cleared angle sensor one but still got a fault code for it. I change out a seized calibre ever since then I have spongy pedal so I bought 3 master cylinder new abs module still getting spongy pedal now when the engine is off the pedal goes stiff it's only when the car is running. I have a power bleeder I have vcds to bleed abs. And the lights on the dash is doing my head in any ideas much appreciated

[@ashleeburls5396]

I have just attempted this fix. I have managed to get the abs pump installed but have yet to bleed the system. My question is. After installation should the brake pressure data be near zero or will it only show a fix after the brakes are bled? Thanks in advance

[@deanoherbyoutube7292]

Thanks for the video, helped me get mine apart. Quick question - the part numbers on the pump do they have to be the same as the old pump in order to work? Mine is a C2 keep coming across different types

[@DomisLbn]

well done. I have a similar problem, the error code is the same, but when the engine is cold everything is ok, only after warming up the error turns on and stays on all the time. I checked the VCDS, everything looks similar to yours, but the brake pressure sensor shows -34 bar (minus 34 ..). Where to find the reason? In the same place as yours? Please answer.

[@CarsExposed]

Dominik Łolik hi Dokinik there is a possibility that is the same issue but I would check the wiring first, multi plug, check for leaks, because the fault isn’t there at all times it makes me think that the module itself could be faulty and maybe when the engine warms up some soldering joints maybe cause a open circuit 👍

[@benjaminlevi7792]

Good job

[@CarsExposed]

Benjamin levi thanks mate 👍👍👍

[@DaytonCarCare]

I would think using suction to force brake fluid into the caliper and air out would had been a better option vs pumping the brake pedal.

[@CarsExposed]

I’m not so keen on the suction method but it works too , to be honest my preferred method is pressure/fill in the reservoir 👍👍👍

[@DaytonCarCare]

@@CarsExposed Yeah all depends on what you're doing. I have both a suction and pressure pump since it's easier if only one person servicing it. I'm usually servicing slave or master cylinders for clutches. Audi cars can be a pain if using the pedal pumping method

[@CarsExposed]

Ah right definitely if you are doing slave cylinders suction is the best in my opinion I had that on a Renault Megane once , you could pump the pedal as much as you want and nothing until I’ve used my vacuum/bleeding pump perfect tool for the job 👍

[@asimk9518]

I have a question and if you can respond quickly I will really appreciate, I’ve tried a used pump, it’s not programmed but if you scan it , it shows sensor has electrical fault, is it because I haven’t swapped my own module, or this unit needs programming and then it won’t show electrical fault, I am not sure if I’m being clear or not, obviously you must have tried many, if you buy used pump remove battery etc and plug new scan, obviously it will give few adaption errors but should it show sensor electrical fault, because I know about BMWs if steering ring isn’t programmed it shows abs pump has electrical fault, I don’t if it’s the same thing on Vw or not

[@justaswede3135]

Looked at this video and started to tear down my caddy (touran) But no pump was found! The pump on the caddy is on the left from the front, and on the back of the engine! A hell to reach!

I swapped out my old ABS unit which had intermittent G201 brake pressure error with a 2nd hand one. Same part number on both module and solenoid part. Now I have ABS/traction/parking brake and a new TPMS light on all the time. Does the new part still need coded even it has the same PN? I tried clearing fault codes but they came back straight away. Will an ECU reset via battery disconnect work? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Get the numbers needed for the log in off the sticker in boot for the different versions of your car. IE engine type brake size and manual or automatic. Then using same web site you input the various versions again of your car in the 6 code box on the code page. Come out of it. Calibrate steering angle and then save everything.
